Bushland Field Notes are small studies of Australian native flora - fragments collected on my walks, researched, and at times gathered in loose, unarranged piles rather than composed into a bouquet. There’s something honest in that unceremonious gathering: a record of what the bushland offers up on any given day.
These works share a kinship with my more diaphanous abstract pieces. Layers of shape, translucency, and shifting opacity create a soft depth, allowing the forms to hover, overlap, and momentarily reveal themselves. They’re part observation, part memory, part field note - an attempt to capture the quiet, tangled poetry of the native wilds.
